[ gpsdrive ] Gpsdrive not connected to gpsd

Dear All users,

I use gpsd v2.92 and it well detects my BU-353 antenna GPS.
I well get frames in telnet localhost 2947.
It seems now gpsd uses a Json langage to query frames in localhost.
cgps and xgps give me also the correct satellites.

Problem: When I launch gpsdrive , it always writes un bottom right in
red color: GPS Status: no gps.

what version of gpsdrive?
did you compile from source or use a distribution's package? which one?

if compiling from source, did you edit the DefineOptions.cmake file
and set this line to OFF:
option(LIBGPS_OLD "Build with old libgps version (<2.90)" OFF)
?

Hi,

I was using distribution 2.10pre4-98.1 of Opensuse.
I removed it.
I've now downloaded the latest relase 2.11 from gpdsrive.de

Here is my file DefineOptions.cmake :
For a first run , I've declared some line to OFF, I expect not to
have action on GPS catch.
I've followed your request for LIBGPS_OLD "Build with old libgps
version (<2.90)" OFF

if that is set wrong it won't find your gps.

Seems the connection to gpsd works, but always NO GPS in Red.

Any idea?ThxHervé

I surmise your desire is run gpsdrive on Windows. Why? Linux
variants are as reliable as Windows 7 in my experience. For the
Windows environment, Streets & Trips, at least in America, is
pretty darn good. I suppose one can load cygwin libraries which I
did because my particular GPS device went berserk for a while and
the particular laptop had to be Vista only but I don't recommend it.

Re: [ gpsdrive ] Gpsdrive not connected to gpsd

You are in an area where I have no experience. I never will own a
vehicle with a factory navigation system. It does sound interesting as
a project. I seem to recall Ford advertising a Windows variant for
their entertainment/navigation devices. All I can suggest is trying to
get cygwin libraries onto the car's windows O/S so gpsd can run there.
Perhaps then bluetooth can be used to connect that to a meego computer
running gpsdrive.
